[Management of renal trauma in the child (author's transl)]. / Conduite à tenir lors d'un traumatisme rénal chez l'enfant

Intravenous pyelography remains the basic examination in the study of the child with lumbar trauma. This examination has its limits, however, and renal arteriography may be necessary in a fair number of cases. Provided that adequate reflection is given and the appropriate moment chosen, it is well tolerated and provides all the necessary information.
